IF A TIRE GOES FLAT
It’s unusual for a: tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you
maintain your tires properly. If air goes out of a. tire, it’s much more ‘likely
to leak out slowly.
But if you should ever have a “blowout,” here are a
few tips about what to expect and what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your
foot, off .the accelerator pedal and grip- the
steering wheel
firmly. Steer to maintain lane position, then-gently brake
to a stop well out of the traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may
require the same correction you’d use in a skid. In .any rear blowout,
remove your foot from the accelexator pedal. Get the vehicle under
control by steering the way
you want the vehicle to go. It may be very
bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently brake to a stop, well
off
the. road.if possible.
If a tire goes flat, the next section shows how to use your jacking
equipment to change a flat tire safely.
